Want to trade in your 9-5 for a pair of gumboots? Our team at Walter Peak are looking for a new team member who is excited about the idea of getting our guests up close and personal to a real-life rural experience! If you have experience hosting as a Tour Guide, or a background in livestock farming and want to dip your toe into the tourism industry, this could be the job for you!

About the Role

A typical day will see you combining your passion for tourism & agriculture with your customer service skills and getting hands on with the rural side of Walter Peak. You'll host visitors on our popular farm tour product, and we'll provide full training so that you can demonstrate farm practices such as sheep shearing and dog handling to our groups of guests.

When you're not hosting visitors, you'll be helping the rural team to ensure immaculate presentation of the grounds/farm and ensuring our animals stay at optimum health. We have 150ha of land that looks out over Lake Whakatipu where we are focused on planting native trees and allowing our guests to learn more about our commitment to conservation.

We are looking for someone who has:

At least 1 year in a similar role OR 1 year experience within the farming industry or a livestock farming background
Experience shearing sheep & dog handling
Confidence in speaking in front of up to 200 people
Full Drivers Licence
Team player traits - someone who is keen to get stuck into rural life and help out wherever needed

What do you get out of this?

Enjoy some incredible staff perks! Bring a friend along to experience RealNZ's unforgettable adventures, either for free or at a fantastic discount. Explore thrilling jet boating, rafting, the Te Anau Glowworm Caves, cruise Milford and Doubtful Sound, and discover Rakiura. It's an amazing opportunity to experience the best of New Zealand without breaking the bank!

Who are we?

We are real people in real places delivering real experiences.

Enabled by tourism, our vision is to be a leading conservation business. We are committed to the future of sustainable tourism while honouring our past. Our guest centric attitude is fuelled by our promise to deliver Aotearoa's most unforgettable experiences.

Here at RealNZ we encourage people to be themselves, respect the environments we operate in and respect each other. We are committed to empowering people, so they can have a voice, be heard and be present.

Our people and our experiences stretch across our most remote islands and fiords to our snow-capped maunga; we are a diverse group of people, and our passion to share incredible environments and experiences with guests drives us every day.
